Ok yes I got it wrong. I didn't think they would gas him considering he has another FIVE (5) years to be paid out. You've gotta suck really badly to eat that contract.
Redknapp noted in his book that the environment at QPR was toxic and that his best player was an aging and hobbled Ryan Nelsen who wanted out sooner rather than later. I guess it kinda says a lot for the egos of some of those players. As the commentary for this episode goes, some players should be ashamed of themselves but then the club have just backed those players and realistically, how much longer will they be at the club? Ferdinand wont have that long... Basically is says that the next man in will have to watch his back as well because if the players don't like you, you will be gone. I think when you consider the length of Moyes contract and the age of the players at Man U and the length of time they have left at the club, this is a big call. They have 3 weeks left until summer where a clear out was on the cards so I still don't get this move at this time.
This has been coming for a while and should not be a surprise to anyone.
JV, I would have thought that getting rid of him now ( knowing that they were going to do it in 3 weeks) was actually a positive move.
Why prolong the agony, and at least it says to the supporters and potential incoming players that we are not going to tolerate this situation.
At the time I was OK with Moyes, but the reality is he just was not up to the challenge.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
